You can view the great Michael Sandel's lectures and his interaction with Harvard students as they discuss moral dilemmas. All the episodes are YouTube videos and free to watch. You can also participate in post-lecture discussions and quizzes.(Description below, copied from the homepage)Justice is one of the most popular courses in Harvard’s history. Now it’s your turn to take the same journey in moral reflection that has captivated more than 14,000 students, as Harvard opens its classroom to the world.In this twelve part series, Sandel challenges us with difficult moral dilemmas and asks our opinion about the right thing to do. He then asks us to examine our answers in the light of new scenarios. The results are often surprising, revealing that important moral questions are never black and white.This course also addresses the hot topics of our day—affirmative action, same-sex marriage, patriotism and rights—and Sandel shows us that we can revisit familiar controversies with a fresh perspective.

This virtual tour of a prison will give you a chance to see what happens when a man, woman or young offender is sent to prison. There are 139 prisons in England and Wales ranging from maximum security prisons to open prisons; it is worth remembering that no two prisons are the same. This means that although the tour will give users an idea of what prison is like, it wont be exactly the same in every prison. The buildings may be different, the facilities available may be different and some of the routines may be different too.

This PowerPoint presentation includes information about Hollywood depictions of capital punishment. Although movies such as "The Green Mile" and "Dead Man Walking" are typically seen as being opposed to the death penalty, themes in these films often contrast the brutality of the condemned's violence with the caring, sanitary, and error free methods used by the state as executions are carried out.
